  • Departmental Administration

Background:

  • The Association of Pathology Chairs' Senior Fellows Group convened a discussion on temporary pathology chair roles.
  • Temporary positions include acting, interim, term-limited, and terminal chairs, each with distinct responsibilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the benefits and risks associated with serving as a temporary pathology chair.
  • To provide insights for individuals considering temporary academic leadership positions.

Main Methods:

  • A discussion group at the 2019 Association of Pathology Chairs Annual Meeting.
  • Panelists represented various temporary chair roles, including perspectives from former deans.

Main Results:

  • Discussion covered caretaker vs. change-agent roles, impact on career progression, academic productivity, and departmental/institutional influences.
  • Authority, problem-solving capabilities, and the "lame-duck" effect of prolonged service were examined.

Conclusions:

  • Experiences and advice shared can guide current and future temporary pathology chairs.
  • Insights are valuable for those in or considering academic leadership roles in pathology and beyond.
